    Can someone explain this where I can understand it?

  2. RulersBack

    Those are a lot of words to still be listed as day to day. What does it mean

  3. Literal_Satan

    This sounds really bad because it’s a lot of words I don’t understand together

  4. youguanbumen

    Truly a unicorn. He’s even inventing new injuries now

  5. legend023

    Not to sound morbid but this is a beam of daylight for Dallas

  6. Solid-Confidence-966

    So he’s not playing again in the series?

  7. junkit33

    Google searches for retinaculum at a historic high right now.

  8. Intelligent-Goose742

    TLDR: his knee has an oweee. He’ll probably sit a game and play the next if they lose game 3

  9. Kball4177

    I feel so bad for KP man. The dude can’t catch a break.

  10. lets_talk_basketball

    Woj did my boy Shams so bad he’s now studying to be a doctor smh

  11. LongTimesGoodTimes

    That’s a lot of doctor words so you know this is bad

  12. jfrodriguez1983

    What? No idea what that is, but anything torn doesn’t sound good.

  13. 002_timmy

    Reddit doctors, please talk me off this ledge

  14. Blackpower2457

    Having Porzingis on your team means you’re gonna learn so much about human anatomy. I’m not gonna front like I know where the medial retinaculum is located 😭

  15. CheetahSperm18

    That’s a whole lot of words I don’t know. What even was the play this happened on? ESPN was so awful about showing any replays last game for anything

    Crystal Porzingus. Its crazy coz how impactful he is. Expect Mavs to attack the paint more effectively without him.

    Tibialis posterior muscle is a foot muscle for plantar flexio and inversion accdng to doc google. Must be painful

  17. 0dias_Chrysalis

    Man scored more than minutes played and his body shut that shit down wow

  18. FarmMinimum9115

    No!!! Not a torn medial retinaculum allowing dislocation of the posterior tibialis tendon!

    Medial Retinaculum is the tendon attaching your quad to the outside portion of your patellar tendon (the band that keeps your knee cap in place). It’s a soft tissue injury.

  20. Justafanofnbadrama

    Retinaculum and Posterior, so something is wrong with his ass eye?

  21. Productpusher

    Where are the Reddit doctors when we need them

  22. Damn, this guy and injuries. It’s like he sacrificed his health to some god for something in return.

  23. Distance_Motor

    Im pretty sure 99% of the population cant tell where that is on the body

  24. Nickelas

    We really got the KP career arc in 5 days. Incredible 2 way performance in a 1st quarter, fading away to a 2 point performance for an entire half, tweaking his knee, then forcing his fans to google whatever weird injury he has again before praying for his return.

    I did not miss this at all. Poor guy can’t catch a single break when it comes to these weird landings

  25. StoneColdAM

    Disappointing for him that he got hurt again. To be honest, he played like he was 100% healthy. Gotta do what it takes to win but maybe he wasn’t 100% and should’ve eased back into it 

  26. Google search shows it’s really bad news. But let’s wait for some experts. News is just out I guess.

    Asked my wife who has a kinesiology degree:

    “It’s the webbing that basically keeps everything where it should be in your ankle. There’s so many tendons/ligaments/vessels it’s like Saran Wrap kind of. Medial means inner ankle. Posterior tibialis tendon attaches some foot muscle to the tibia I would assume”

    I can’t share images here but we have a medical atlas at home and it’s basically like a saran wrap over the tendons that holds tendons in place.
